Fear of public speaking

Joost and Dana-Maria created an app for people with fear of public speaking. They will present it and you can experience a demo.

Behaviour of people <-> avatars

Pascal is experimenting with the virtual world to make avatars as real as possible. This by studying body language: the way people breath, move, et cetera. Pascal studies the behaviour of people, as well as body movements.
